Chapter Seventy-Two: Out of Battle

"Remember the group of Japanese scouts we captured at Zhonghua Gate? Could it be that these guys were also sent into the city by the Japanese army to cause trouble? "There are only two old people left in the second company, Liu Goat and Tang Cheng, and only the two of them know about the detection of Japanese spies during the night inspection of Zhonghua Gate. Tang Cheng didn't pay attention to Liu Goat's words, but rummaged through those flower machine men one by one to find useful things, but unfortunately all his efforts were in vain, and these guys had nothing else on them except weapons and ammunition.

That's it, Liu Shanyang and Tang Cheng will be more sure that these are spies sent into the city by the Japanese army, and maybe the city of Nanjing at this moment is already full of Japanese infiltration troops. "Let's go, we have to get out of here as soon as possible, and when the Japanese army enters the city in a big way, none of us will survive." Throwing a flower trap and two magazines to Jiujin, Liu Goat himself grabbed a flower trap and a few magazines, and the remaining three flower traps were also distributed by Liu Goat to his subordinates who looked more pleasing to the eye.

Rushing all the way through the long alleys, passing through the houses, sparing a piece of ruins, Liu Goat took Tang Cheng and them straight to Rujiang Gate. The entire city of Nanjing trembled under the fierce sound of gunfire, and Japanese fighters tirelessly roared and circled overhead, dropping powerful bombs from time to time. The people of Tangcheng, who didn't know the way, were like walking in a maze, and it turned out that Liu Goat's sense of direction was quite good, at least they didn't encounter the attack of the Japanese infiltration troops along the way.

They did not encounter the infiltration troops of the Japanese army, but they encountered many national troops, and almost all of the national troops they encountered were unorganized, and they had only one direction, that is, Rujiangmen. Compared with these extremely embarrassed routs of the national army, Erlin, who was loaded with guns and ammunition, was much more different, and compared with those routs who even threw their guns, Tang Cheng, who straddled two shell guns diagonally and carried flower traps in his hands, was more like a real warrior.

Just because they didn't meet the Japanese infiltrators didn't mean they wouldn't be attacked when they were desperate to flee for their lives, and when they crossed a street corner, the silence was broken by the sudden sound of gunfire. "Bang" A second lieutenant officer fell in the middle of the street with a bloody arrow on his head, and the routs who followed immediately scattered, and a group of people from the second company hid at the corner of the street with Liu Shangoat's gesture. "Smack" was another gunshot, and a lucky bird followed in the footsteps of the captain, but all this failed to kill him, and the bird who was shot in the thigh was lying in the middle of the street screaming loudly.

"Third child, don't move while lying on your stomach, don't move around." The rout, who knew the bird well, shouted loudly, and someone was already firing at a shop opposite, but they only guessed that the gunman was hiding on the roof of the shop, so the bullets were almost inaccurate. "Smack" A rout who wanted to drag the third soldier back fell headlong in the middle of the street, and the bullets fired by the other party pierced his neck from top to bottom, and the bloody arrow with the thickness of the little finger flowed out of the wound, and soon a blood puddle accumulated under the rout.

Several routed soldiers were killed at the corner of the street one after another, and Liu Goat simply didn't squat here with these guys to ponder, but made a look, and took Tang Cheng and them back a little, preparing to go to Rujiangmen from another way. Tang Cheng secretly remembered the route he had taken, and then he found that the route Liu Goat took was a square detour, and it seemed that Liu Goat was also helpless against the gunman hiding at the corner of the street, and he was planning to walk more ways to bypass the hidden gunman.

After passing through two intersections in a row, Liu Goat didn't make a sound, just walked forward with a cold face, but when he reached the third street intersection, Liu Goat suddenly stopped. His eyes swept across the street opposite, Liu Goat put away his gun and stood against the corner of the wall with his eyes closed, "I'll go over first, if there is no gun, you can hurry up and follow." As soon as Liu Goat's words fell, he had already rushed to the opposite street corner with a gun, Tang Cheng only had time to stretch out his hand, but he couldn't hold Liu Goat, who was going to take a risk.

"Cover" learned from Liu Goat's usual appearance, Tang Cheng shouted in a low voice, and the two bosses with flower organs squatted down in the corner, their guns pointed at the opposite street. Tang Cheng didn't dare to be careless, but paid close attention to the surrounding sounds and Liu Goat's movements. Liu Goat was fortunately lucky, and during the whole process of him rushing to the corner across the street, Tang Cheng's worried gunshots did not appear, "Let's go, let's go over." Tang Cheng bypassed the two guys holding the flower trap and raised his feet and ran in the direction of Liu Goat.

After walking a few more streets, large and small barricades and bunkers began to appear in his sight, and he had seen too many such temporary fortifications along the way, and Tang Cheng's heart was no longer surprised, but almost desperately lost. The City Defense Command, which was preparing to defend Nanjing, ordered the construction of a large number of barricades in the urban area of Nanjing, and transformed many buildings and ruins into defensive points, and they planned to continue street fighting with the Japanese army with the barricades, buildings and ruins in the urban area after the Japanese army broke through the city. But now, behind these barricade fortifications in Tang Cheng's sight, the national army troops who should have been holding on to this place have disappeared, and the barricade fortifications have become ridiculous decorations.

"Go, keep walking, don't stop." Seeing that Tang Cheng's footsteps were sluggish, Liu Goat immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull Tang Cheng's footsteps and continued to move forward. Soon, the fierce gunfire began to shift to the east of Nanjing, and the southern periphery of the city was also the sound of explosions, the more so, the more anxious Tang Cheng's mood became, could it be that the national army troops in Nanjing City would soon become a turtle in the urn, or the defenders really planned to abandon Nanjing.

"There are people in the alley" A soldier beside Liu Goat pointed to a small alley beside them and shouted, coldly glancing at a few figures shaking in the ruins of the back alley, Tang Cheng, who turned his head in response, immediately stood on the side of the street, and then raised the flower machine gun in his hand and pointed at the alley. The city of Nanjing is now full of soldiers of the national army, and now there are panicked Nanjing people everywhere, Liu Goat did not dare to be careless, and carefully observed the surroundings with the gun in his hand, until he was sure that there was no other potential danger nearby, and then he lowered the muzzle of the gun and climbed down lightly.

Erlian's position at the moment is on the road that those people in the alley must pass, and when all the people in the alley come out, Liu Goat jumped out with a flower trap and told those people not to move. Probably because they met people who were also wearing national army uniforms, these national soldiers froze fiercely at the entrance of the alley. Liu Goat's muzzle was pointed at a few of them, and then he asked sharply, "Which part are you from?" Who are the officers? ”

The man who was stared at by Liu Goat snapped upright, "Huang Zhengxin of the reconnaissance company of the 156th Division of the 83rd Army, our platoon commander has died in battle, and now I will command a few of them." Maybe it's the national army uniforms on the people in the second company, or maybe it's Huang Zhengxin's civilian dress at the moment, which makes Huang Zhengxin a little afraid to look up at Liu Goat and Tang Cheng. 156 Division? Tang Cheng had a puzzle in his heart, the troops of the 156th Division were still helping to teach the Second Regiment to hold their positions at Guanghuamen, and these people who claimed to be the 156th Division came out of nowhere.

"We, 156, are ordered to support the two positions of Guanghuamen and Tongjimen, and we are the troops assisting in the defense of Tongjimen." Xu saw the confusion in Tang Cheng's eyes, and Huang Zhengxin hurriedly explained the reason for his people. On December 10, seeing that the Chinese defenders refused to surrender, the Japanese army launched an all-out attack on Yuhuatai, Tongjimen, Guanghuamen, and the third peak of Purple Mountain. The Nanjing Garrison Headquarters urgently ordered the 156th Division of the 83rd Army to reinforce the garrison of Guanghuamen and Tongjimen, and to build preparatory fortifications for street fighting at various points in the city.

Clearly identifying the identity of the other party, Liu Goat immediately lowered the muzzle, but the finger on the trigger did not relax, the Japanese infiltration troops can pretend to be Chinese to enter Nanjing, then there is no reason not to pretend to be the rout of the national army, so Liu Goat is still secretly wary of Huang Zhengxin and his party. "Well, then we'll go our separate ways, we won't ask you where you're going, you'll be asked about me." Liu Goat took out half a pack of cigarettes and threw it to Huang Zhengxin, then dodged to the side to get out of the way, and motioned for Huang Zhengxin and them to go first.

"Sir, with all due respect, it looks like you're going to Rujiangmen, right?" When passing by Liu Goat's side, Huang Zhengxin suddenly stopped. "Rujiangmen, don't go, the people of the 36th Division have blocked the city gate, saying that the garrison headquarters has an order to not allow anyone to go out of the city, and a few of us came back from Rujiangmen just now, saying that the people of the 36th Division still piled sandbags and machine guns in the hole of the city gate."

Huang Zhengxin took his subordinates, but the soldiers dressed as civilians had disappeared into the street corner, but Liu Goat was still standing in place and was dumbfounded, not saying a word. Rujiangmen was closed by the troops of the 36th Division, this news from Huang Zhengxin's kind reminder completely stunned Liu Goat, the news of Rujiangmen is still Liu Goat used a Japanese army's southern pistol and a captain's command knife from the mouth of the 87th Division, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army has not yet entered the city in a big way, after leaving the Guanghuamen battlefield, take Tangcheng and them across the river to the other side of the Rujiangmen, but now this sudden news made him fall into the ice cellar.

Now what? Liu Goat subconsciously turned his head to look at Tang Cheng who was looking at him, Liu Goat tried to show a smile at Tang Cheng, but his face was too tight, and the smile he showed was even more ugly than crying, but he didn't know what to do.
